Supply Chain Business
By Doug Hudgeon The Cost Reduction Tip In the 1970s and 80′s, skateboarding went through a renaissance. Difficult tricks became commonplace and impossible tricks became possible.
The invention of polyurethane wheels in 1972 and the US drought in 1976 (which led to the draining of concrete pools) kicked off these advances but it was not until groups of skaters such as the Z-Boys began challenging each other to innovate that we saw an explosion of new tricks.
A good example is the Ollie. Within days of Alan Gelfand’s arrival in California in 1976, the Ollie became a standard part of every skateboarders repertoire.
The Ollie is a trick performed off a vertical wall (such as a swimming pool wall) where the skateboard sticks to the rider’s feet as he or she flys above the lip of the wall.
About Supply Chain Business

We’re at this same stage with enterprise software. New entrants into the enterprise software space are performing impossible feats.
Some of these new tricks such as SAAS delivery require new technology but many tricks simply require you and your existing vendors to re-conceive your service requirements and their service offering.
This can both improve your vendor’s capabilities and significantly reduce your costs. Doug Hudgeon who is lawyer and vendor management professional who has branched into finance and accounting shared services management.
